Chichen-Itza



Today started off early. We watched the sunrise over the ocean and then headed off to breakfast so we wouldn’t be hungry on our tour. We had a great tour guide who gave us a lot of information about the Mayan people.

Once we got to Chichen-Itza is was amazing to see these ancient structures and more amazing still to realize that so many thousands of years ago they had such a perfect knowledge of the calendar and many other things. It was a very hot day but so worth the trip.

Tonight we found a great dessert place. They had much to choose from but I liked the ice cream best it was called Sunrise Cup. We will be visiting it again I’m sure!

I guess you could say we started and ended the day with the sunrise which is fitting seeing how the sun is what the Mayan people worshiped.
